Consider Your Venue
Look
down. Many country clubs and
hotels have patterned carpet that may clash with your ideal colors, or you can let what's already there help guide you. Working with the décor of your venue
can make your decorations pop instead of getting lost in the sea of fleur de
lis.
Tis the Season
What’s in
season? Let nature lead the way. Choosing floral
arrangements that use in season blooms and colors, will not only save you
denero, but it will make your wedding design look more cohesive with the season.
Go Shopping (sort of)
Visit a
fabric or paint store. This is an excellent way to put together
your color palette. Not only is it nice for you to view so many colors and shades in one lolo, but it’s super great if you can provide hands on samples of the colors
you’ve narrowed down. You may
envision a light pink and green wedding, but to your florist or event designer,
this can mean anything from Carnation Pink to Lavender Rose and Emerald to Moss
Green. Most big named paint companies have color wheels on their
websites. Here are a few websites
that can guide you in your search for the perfect wedding colors.
Get Inspired
Take a cue
from our Inspiration Mondays. Look
around you for inspiration.
Beautiful color combinations don’t just come from flowers and fabric. Just a few weeks ago we found beautiful
inspiration in a bag of jellybeans!
Get a little crazy. You don’t have to limit your color combination to the typical two colors. A compilation of colors is stunning. See previous jellybean comment as an example, or think about a coastal sunset with its pinks, oranges, golds, and blues. Or should I say Cayenne, Celestial Orange, Freesia, and Dazzling Blue.
